Cabernet

Adventurous

Red · Medium · Dry

Shorthand for Cabernet Sauvignon — full-bodied, structured red wine with notes of black currant, graphite, and cedar. The classic steakhouse choice.

Why it works with Linguine With Crab Meat

Cabernet's cherry-and-spice profile pairs gently with Linguine With Crab Meat.

Chianti

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

Tuscany's everyday red, made from Sangiovese — cherry, leather, and a brisk acidity that makes tomato-based dishes sing. The Classico designation marks the historic heartland and a step up in quality.

Why it works with Crab And Shrimp Linguine

Chianti is the Italian table wine for a reason — cherry, leather, and cleansing acid.

Burgundy's most generous white — rich, buttery, full of stone fruit and toasted nut. The Chardonnay you reach for when Chablis feels too austere.

Why it works with Garlic Linguine With Crab, Red Bell Pepper And Pine Nuts

Meursault and Garlic Linguine With Crab, Red Bell Pepper And Pine Nuts make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.

White · Light · Dry

Sancerre's cousin across the Loire — Sauvignon Blanc with a smokier, flintier profile. The 'fumé' in the name refers to that struck-match minerality.

Why it works with Garlic Linguine With Crab, Red Bell Pepper And Pine Nuts

Pouilly-fumé brings citrus and a mineral edge that flatters Garlic Linguine With Crab, Red Bell Pepper And Pine Nuts's delicacy.

Prosecco

Classic

Sparkling · Light · Off-dry

Veneto's everyday sparkler — Glera grape, charmat method, frothier and fruitier than Champagne. Pear, white flowers, easy fun. Made for aperitivo.

Why it works with Crab And Shrimp Linguine

Off-dry bubbles work from antipasti through to dessert — Italy's all-purpose sparkler.

Sangiovese

Classic

Red · Medium · Dry

The soul of Tuscany — bright red cherry, dried herbs, and a savory line of acidity that craves tomato sauce. Chianti is the everyday face; Brunello is its serious cousin.

Why it works with Crab And Shrimp Linguine

Bright Italian acid meets tomato sauce — the table-wine logic Tuscan cooks have known forever.

White · Light · Dry

Citrus, cut grass, and a wire of acid. Marlborough makes it loudest; Sancerre makes it most refined. Either way, it cuts cleanly through goat cheese, herbs, and anything with shellfish.

Why it works with Crab Linguine

Crisp herbal white refreshes against crab's natural sweetness.
